===Interactive design in digital picture books=== With the popularity of digital devices, children have more access to digital reading. Many studies analyze the impacts of digital books compared to traditional books, and the finding turns positive and negative depending on the variables. One of the studies shows that digital books could benefit children's reading outcomes if the design of digital enhancement aligns with the story content.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Christ |first1=Tanya |last2=Wang |first2=X.

Rather than weigh the advantages and disadvantages of digital children's books, it was focused on book design enhancements that could be optimized to increase children's learning.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Furenes |first1=May Irene |last2=Kucirkova |first2=Natalia |last3=Bus |first3=Adriana G. |title=A Comparison of Children's Reading on Paper Versus Screen: A Meta-Analysis |journal=Review of Educational Research |date=8 March 2021 |volume=91 |issue=4 |pages=483β517 |doi=10.3102/0034654321998074|hdl=11250/3051332 |s2cid=233800814 |url=http://oro.open.ac.uk/75652/8/ORO%2075652.pdf }}</ref> The most significant finding from this research supports previous studies on book design enhancement. Children benefit in meaning-making when the enhancement is designed to align with the story, like providing background knowledge of the story event. In contrast, children will be distracted if the design enhancement does not support the storyline, as with the pop-up dictionary emended in the story.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Furenes |first1=May Irene |last2=Kucirkova |first2=Natalia |last3=Bus |first3=Adriana G. |title=A Comparison of Children's Reading on Paper Versus Screen: A Meta-Analysis |journal=Review of Educational Research |date=August 2021 |volume=91 |issue=4 |pages=483β517 |doi=10.3102/0034654321998074|hdl=11250/3051332 |s2cid=233800814 |url=http://oro.open.ac.uk/75652/8/ORO%2075652.pdf }}</ref>
